Question

You have a complex wave. You are looking at the wave’s harmonics on a frequency spectrum. Which of the following statements is true?


a)The lower the fundamental frequency, the closer together (or more densely spaced) its harmonics will be along the spectrum.

b) The lower the fundamental frequency, the further apart (or less densely spaced) its harmonics will be along the spectrum.

c) The higher the fundamental frequency, the closer together (or more densely spaced) its harmonics will be along the spectrum.

d) The fundamental frequency has nothing to do with the spacing of the harmonics on the spectrum.

Explanation / Answer

ans. c) The higher the fundamental frequency, the closer together (or more densely spaced) its harmonics will be along the spectrum.

because wavelength = v/f

v depend on tension of the string so it is constant.

with f increases spacing decreases
